16-year-old with advanced osteosarcoma and metastasis to the lungs
Question 1 of 5
A 16-year-old has been admitted to the hospital for advanced osteosarcoma with metastasis to the lungs. His prognosis is poor. He is continuing to require oxygen and needs to remain in the hospital for monitoring. The adolescent is very frustrated and states that he doesn't want to stay in the hospital and wants to be with his friends. Which of the following is the best option?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Arrange a multi-disciplinary team meeting, including the teenager and his family to discuss the situation and set goals together. This option is the best because it involves the patient and his family in the decision-making process, respecting their autonomy and providing emotional support. By including a multi-disciplinary team, medical professionals can address the adolescent's frustrations, provide information about his condition, and collaborate with the family to set realistic goals for his care. This approach promotes shared decision-making, empowers the patient, and ensures that his emotional and psychological needs are addressed.
Option A is incorrect because it dismisses the adolescent's feelings and minimizes his legitimate frustrations. Option B is not as effective as option D in addressing the emotional and psychological needs of the patient. Option C may provide temporary distraction but does not address the underlying issue of the patient's frustration and desire to be with his friends.
